404 with 10.5 Continentials?
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

here's my CJ-5 totally stock atop Kalispell peak in east of Colville, spun a bearing last fall so redoing it with a 4.0L head and fuel injection. also have another CJ-5 on the 10-year plan, just don't have time or money for all my projects. couldn't resist the old-school slots and 31x10.50s, has a hydraulic winch up front. kids love it!

Nice CJ. I had a bright red '82 that I bought off the showroom floor when I was single. Drove it for years. What a great vehicle it was. God I miss that rig.
Can't we all just get along?

Heres my brothers. We took it hunting one time before we turned it in to this trailer queen.

I also re-built a 1943 Bantam trailer to help me get animals out.  Build thread on it-

Very cool restoration.  :tup:  I might have done a little more welding to protect the hang on light. I ALWAYS cush those damn things!  :bash: Your probably a better driver than me tho!  ;)

wow. just crawled the thread and that is probably one of my favorite TJ's of all time. It is really close to something i would like to do. I've had a wrangler and now i'm running a GC. I want something in between that i can go all out on with long arms and maybe coil overs. all fabbed up to fit my needs.

My hats off to you ziptie. what a build.
